CSE Butter Knife

The CSE Butter Knife is a Carl Schaper creation. Carl Schaper is best known for his longboards, but his Butter Knife is second to none, when it comes to his mini-tank designs.

CSE Butter Knife design

The CSE Butter Knife with its classic outlines, perfect performance longboard rockers and well-thought-out volumes is a winner across the board. Suitable for all abilities, surfers get to ride these as single fins in the smaller conditions and let its nose riding capabilities surprise them. And when it gets a bit punchier, you can just slip in the side bites and you have a perfect riding board for just about all conditions.

CONSTRUCTION

Built with NSP’s Shaper’s Union Custom Surf Epoxy (CSE) layup, we came up with a unique glassing schedule for the Butter Knife,  instead of a one-size-fits-all technology. The boards come with a clear UV-stable resin and satin rub finish and combined with a CNC-cut EPS core, laminated with full 220g (8oz) biax glass + 4oz deck and 6oz bottom, a 4oz fin patch, a 6mm wood stringer, bottom carbon stringer and carbon-reinforced tail, giving you a durable, high-performance longboard with flex that feels light and responsive.

FIN SETUP

The CSE Butter Knife comes with a 4+1 fin configuration allowing you to get creative in your setup. Try a quad, thruster or even single fin. NSP positioned the Surf 10 fin box slightly further back on purpose, making a realistic thruster setup work out as well.

All Butter Knives come with FTU fin boxes and are compatible with Futures® Fins (fins not included).
